Comments
Ski cut the more mellow entrance into the bowl. Slab spiderwebbed and progagated releasing down into the trees. 125' slab 18"-20" the entire width. Slid on the rock ground on the ground freeze/facets. Quite surprising to see given the slope angle - probably not much more than 30. Would have been an ugly ride into the trees.
